Yep, that's the sort of chunking that should definitely happen, if it doesn't already. What was the original output that sparked this? (I notice "write" style string output in iprin1() always goes char-by-char, it'd be nice if it scanned ahead for a char needing an escape, to send the non-escape block as a single lfwrite. Decent size runs of plain chars are probably quite likely.) _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
